Audio Board

Audio amplifier board for driving a speaker to produce auditory stimuli. The board uses the Micropython DAC for stimulus generation, and had a digital potentiometer for setting the volume, as well as a manual potentiometer for coarse volume adjustments. The board must be plugged into a behaviour port on the pyControl Breakout Board that supports DAC output and I2C serial communication (ports 3 and 4).

Poke

Nose-poke port with infra-red beam, stimulus LED and socket to connect a solenoid valve. Plugs into any behaviour port on the pyControl Breakout board.

Suitable solenoids are the LHDA1231515H from Lee Company (recommended for water only) and the WZ-98302-02 from Cole-Palmer (a pinch valve so potentially less accurate, but shouldn't seize up with sucrose).

Stepper Driver

Rotary Encoder

Adaptor for connecting a rotary encoder to pyControl, used for e.g. measuring the speed of a running wheel. Compatible with the Avago HEDM-55xx series rotary encoders (datasheet). Must be plugged into behaviour port 1 on the pyControl Breakout board.

Port Adapter

Exposes all the lines on a pyControl Breakout board behaviour port to a screw terminal connector, and the driver lines to a set of header connectors. Can be used to connect solenoids, houselights , fans etc. to a pyControl system.

Pass Through Adapter

Connects between a pyControl Breakout Board behaviour port and a pyControl Peripheral, and exposes all the lines of the breakout board to screw terminal connector and the driver lines to a pair of header connectors, allowing lines not used by the Peripheral to be used elsewhere.

Port Expander

The port expander board uses a serial to parallel IO expander IC to run 8 behaviour ports from a single behaviour port on the pyControl Breakout Board. It must be connected to a behaviour port that supports I2C serial communication (ports 3 and 4 on the pyControl Breakout Board).
